Abstract
The etiopathogenic mechanism underpinning pigmented villonodular synovitis remains unclear. Genetic factors are suspected in childhood cases. MRI is the complementary examination of choice for diagnosis and follow-up. In children, treatment of pigmented villonodular synovitis depends on marginal excision of the lesion for localized forms and total synovectomy for the diffuse forms. The efficacy of the triamcinolone hexacetonide synoviorthesis remains open to debate and would require a larger series with longer follow-up for evaluation.
